No one was hurt in the shooting and witnesses believe it may have stemmed from a fight that happened earlier in the night.

Mitch Novick, who owns the Sherbrooke Hotel along Ninth Street and Collins Avenue was a few block away from where the shooting took place.

He said criminal activity happens around his property almost every day.

Miami Beach police said they have stepped up their presence along what they call the "entertainment district" which encompasses Ocean Drive in between Fifth Street and 15th Street.

Miami Beach Commissioner Michael Grieco said funding has been provided for an additional 12 officers to patrol this entertainment district.

He also condemned the latest shooting.

"This is another unfortunate case of bad people coming to our city and feeling comfortable doing bad things, " Grieco said in a statement. "I am confident that with the right tools and policy, such as the recent increase in police manpower and getting our cops out of cruisers and on foot or on bicycles, our department can create a safer environment for our residents and guests, while criminals stay home."
